Whats the difference?
Hello everyone,
Can someone please explain the difference between the 311.30.42.30.01.006 and the 311.30.42.30.01.005 ? Thanks |

006 features a sapphire crystal over the dial (in place of the acrylic crystal used on 005), and it has a transparent case-back (in place of the steel case-back and soft iron dust cover used on 005). The movement used in 006 has slightly upgraded finishing, since it is meant to be admired through that transparent case-back.
There is plenty of discussion to be found on the internet about who prefers which of these two versions of the Speedmaster Professional and why. |

If you want the closest moonwatch to the one actually worn on the moon, get the 005

I Think the water resistance is also different for the two.

Had the same question and chose to buy the Saphire sandwich 006 reference.
